Steel Processor to Add 23 New Jobs in Guilford County
State Grant Helps Company Expand in Greensboro
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that Coilplus, Inc., a flat rolled steel processor in Guilford County, plans to create 23 new jobs and invest $12.7 million during the next three years in Greensboro as part of an expansion in North Carolina. The project was made possible in part by a $50,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
“Creating jobs is my top priority, both attracting new companies to North Carolina and helping existing ones grow and thrive,” Gov. Perdue said. “North Carolina remains an ideal location for global manufacturers to expand. Our skilled workforce, job training programs and excellent business climate are known worldwide.”
Coilplus started in 1985 in Alabama and has grown to nine plants throughout the United States and two locations in Mexico. Coilplus is part of the global network of Metal One, owned by Mitsubishi and Sojitz Corporations. Coilplus currently has 41 employees at its facility in Greensboro. As part of the expansion in Guilford County, the company will add new state-of-the-art equipment and will double the square footage of the existing plant.
“Our facilities utilize the most modern steel processing techniques so it’s important that we have qualified people to operate that equipment,” said William Hudson, General Manager of Coilplus. “The excellent workforce available in Guilford County definitely played a role in our decision to expand here in North Carolina. We look forward to future growth here in this state.”
Salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual wage for the new jobs will be $42,947, plus benefits. The Guilford County average annual wage is $39,520.
The One NC Fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance standards to qualify for grant funds. These grants also require and are contingent upon local matches.
